Barby became very famous among The Kelly Family fans for her sweet and quiet demeanor, as well as her angelic ballet dancing she performed on stage during concerts.(The quality is very poor in this video, but that is because you were only lucky enough to see this in concerts, and as you can see, the fans adored her.)

In 2000, the release of "Best Of The Kelly Family Volumes 1 and 2" brought a new song to fans called "I Wanna Kiss You" featuring Maite and Barby as a duet team for the first time.

Unlike most of her brothers and sisters, Barby did not go on to pursue a solo career, and instead enjoys the quiet life, unmarried. You can often spot her with one of her brothers and sisters watching a concert or even on stage ;)
